The paper evaluates REE hyperaccumulation in four plant species and identifies soil amendments that enhance bio-ore production for phytomining in Idaho.

This study constructs a chromosome-scale cannabis pangenome to explore genomic diversity and evolution, revealing low diversity in cannabinoid synthase genes and high diversity in other regions.

The paper identifies a relationship between protein structure and glycan structure, introducing a glycoimpact matrix to predict glycosylation patterns and validate it through disease variants and engineered antibodies.

PanKmer provides a reference-free toolkit for pangenome analysis using k-mer decomposition to explore genetic variation across multiple genomes.

The paper identifies T1D risk genes and regulatory elements that influence beta cell survival under proinflammatory cytokine exposure using functional genomics and genetics.

This study identifies glucocorticoid-responsive gene regulatory programs in pancreatic islets and links them to type 2 diabetes risk through chromatin and gene expression analysis.

The paper identifies T2D risk variants in pancreatic progenitor-specific enhancers and shows their role in regulating developmental genes involved in pancreas morphogenesis.

The paper uses snATAC-seq to map chromatin accessibility QTLs in immune cell types and fine-maps complex trait loci, identifying cell type-specific causal variants.

The paper identifies distal enhancer networks in pancreatic islets associated with type 2 diabetes risk by integrating chromatin accessibility, conformation, and genetic data.

This study identifies shared genetic risk factors between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, showing overlapping regulatory elements and causal variants affecting islet function and growth.
